Our report analyzes over 900 State Department diplomatic cables from 2005 to 2009 and reveals how far the US government will go to help serve the seed industry’s agenda abroad, knowing that resistance to GMOs worldwide is high. Here are some of the tidbits gleaned from our comprehensive look at the cables: •Between 2007 and 2009, annual cables were distributed to “encourage the use of agricultural biotechnology”, directing US embassies to “pursue an active biotech agenda”. •There was a comprehensive communications campaign aimed to “promote understanding and acceptance of the technology” and “develop support for US government trade and development policy positions on biotech” in light of the worldwide backlash against GM crops. •Where backlash was high, some embassies downplayed efforts. In Uruguay, the embassy has been “extremely Sota guest editorial – cautious to keep [its] fingerprints off conferences” promoting biotechnology.

On Friday, Jose Efraín Ríos Montt was sentenced to 80 years in prison in a decision Monsanto was a great beneficiary of the State Department’s taxpayer-funded diplomacy, helping pave the way that marks the first time a ruler has been convicted of genocide in his own country. Rios Montt oversaw an extralegal for the cultivation of its seeds abroad: the company appeared in 6.1% of the biotech cables analyzed between 2005 regime in the early 1980s, ordering the killing of 1,771 Ixil Mayans in the name of eradicating a guerilla movement. and 2009 from 21 countries.

The simple answer is the actions - and inactions - of US President Ronald Reagan, the man who provided cover What’s more, the US government is now quietly negotiating major trade deals with Europe and the countries for every tin-pot dictator on the continent. A better answer is the preeminence of “America,” with its mythological of the Pacific Rim that would force countries to accept biotech imports, commercialize biotech crops and prevent the foundation and narrative.

In Ríos Montt, we see the legacy of Reagan’s World.

This violent era resulted agribusiness corporations, has brought us to the brink of a global calamity. in mass migrations to the United States in quantities not seen since the time of the Mexican Revolution.

We are now facing, even though genocide. Many still bear the painful scars of those genocidal years - scars that can never heal. To this day, many millions are still in denial, the most serious existential threat that humans have ever encountered. Through ignorance hundreds of thousands of survivors live among us, clamoring for justice. Putting Ríos Montt away for a little time will and greed, through unsustainable land use and abuse, through reckless deforestation, through unsustainable food, not undo the brutal campaigns of that era. farming and ranching practices, and through overconsumption of fossil fuels, we have overloaded the atmosphere Taking a cue from Kucinich, perhaps we should begin in this country with a truth and reconciliation commission with dangerous levels of greenhouse gases: CO2, methane, nitrous oxide, and black soot. to examine first the US role in Central America, and then, its role in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. If we look back 150 years, before the advent of modern energy-intensive agriculture, the industrial revolution, This would be a broad endeavor: to understand the apartheid regime of Guatemala, and to understand the desertification and massive deforestation, there was once twice as much carbon matter or CO2 sequestered in the conditions that allowed the cycle of vicious wars in Central America, one would have to probe deeper. One would soil as there is right now. So where is this carbon that used to be in our soils, forests, farmlands, grasslands and have to probe the mythology of the very idea of America. When Kucinich made his call, he said we must go back wetlands? An alarming amount of GHG is up in our atmosphere right now, heating up the planet, melting the polar to the original idea of America, because its founders envisioned a nation of human unity. I have a different take: the icecaps, and disrupting the traditional climate patterns that have enabled modern agricultural (post hunter-gatherer) original idea of America was predicated on genocide, land theft, slavery, divine providence, westward expansion and civilizations to raise food, obtain water, and survive over the past 10,000 years. manifest destiny (imperialism) and the denial of full human rights to everyone except landowning white males. Besides overloading the atmosphere, a dangerous portion of this GHG pollution has supersaturated the oceans, The original idea of America was predicated on ignorance and denial, falsehoods and myths. That is what made causing elevated temperatures and acidity to kill off coral reefs and plankton, in effect undermining the entire web the Iraq War possible. That is what permitted Ríos Montt to operate with impunity. It is what permitted Reagan to of marine life. Scientists warn that these continued business-as-usual practices will, once atmospheric GHG pollution view bloodthirsty murderers as “freedom fighters.” It is what propelled the Iran-Contra (drugs, missiles and guns) rises to 450 ppm and above, detonate runaway global warming and literally exterminate most life on earth. affair. So why is there 50-80 percent less carbon naturally sequestered in the plants, trees and soil relative to 150 years A recent conference in Phoenix, titled “Dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery,” examined precisely those myths ago? Why are levels of methane (50-100 times more damaging per unit than CO2) and nitrous oxide (200 times - the ones that converted invaders into the legal and legitimate populations of “America,” while converting the native more climate-disrupting per unit than CO2) steadily increasing? For starters, farmers and corporate agribusiness populations into hunted aliens. It is this doctrine that provides the best explanation for the Guatemalan genocide and have ploughed up billions of acres of prairies and rangelands, destroying the deep-rooted perennial prairie grasses for the violence and oppression that have wracked Central America, Mexico and the rest of the continent north and that sequestered billions of tons of greenhouse gases. In addition, in North America, European settlers slaughtered south. the vast herds of buffalo, 60 million animals, whose traditional migratory “mob” grazing preserved and maintained At this conference, the attendees were in agreement that until the doctrine of discovery is dismantled, the perennial grasses. “Modern” agriculurists planted vast monocrops of grain and cotton, most often leaving the indigenous peoples will continue to be subjected to apartheid regimes, land theft, desecration of sacred sites, and efforts to eradicate the original cultures, languages and knowledges of this continent.

Starting after the Second World War and accelerating ever since, we have allowed farmers to pour billions of tons of chemical fertilizer (the major source of nitrous oxide pollution) and pesticides on the soil, killing its natural capacity to stimulate plant growth and sequester carbon. Last but not least, we have allowed giant timber companies and now agribusiness multinationals to whack down a large portion of the world’s forests, especially the tropical rainforests, the lungs of the planet.

The Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate’s anonymous crime tip hot line is safe, secure and effective − but far too underutilized. We encourage the Oyate to jot this number down. 742-0088. We hope that those who have always wanted to do the right thing, but have not spoken up for fear of reprisal, will help the Tribal Police to obtain information on situations that are happening out on the Reservation. The Tribal Police Department needs information. They need help to reduce the crime rate in our community. If you won’t talk directly to the police, please tell us what you know by calling 605-742-0088 and leave your information on this hotline. It would be greatly appreciated. You are not right to remain silent. Fight crime 100% anonymously. For yourself. For your Oyate.
